I'm looking for a particular post apocalyptic book [View all]

First, it’s not “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy, which I really enjoyed.

I read about this particular book I seek some years ago.
As I recall it, the story takes place in southern California immediately after some apocalyptic event.

A man (father, husband?) begins a journey home on foot (to Los Angeles?) and the book is about his trip home.

Any idea on what book/author this may be?

Thanks

One thing about Lucifer's Hammer SCantiGOP May 2018 #6

Lucifer's Hammer really is right-wing. PoindexterOglethorpe May 2018 #10
